yes, perfect stalker lens, especially on a crop body....
I'm keeping both my lenses, they are both great, and i will find uses for each.
but because i use my 5DII more often, i won't get rid of my 100-400. but if i'm doing a shoot where i'm using my 7D, i'm not likely to touch it unless i want to shoot as close to an animal as i can without disturbing it.
and most things night use it for are too far away to retain IQ anyhow because of environmental factors getting in between like heat waves and smog. So it mainly is used to ID birds on my 7D
it would be a hard choice if i were forced to choose between them.
of all my lenses, the one i would get rid of first would likely be my 100MM macro. I just don't shoot enough macro stuff. and for it's image optics, it isn't quite as good as my 135 F2 and not as usefull as my 24-70. If it were a 100L series, it might be a different story and i'd try to use it more for portrait work, but that's not the case.
